ATTORNEY.

Patented Nov. 17, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFIQE 2 Claims.

This invention relates to an improved holder for drawing ink bottles when used in connection with a desk or drawing boards of the type used by draftsmen, and has as an object the provision of a retaining receptacle for such bottles.

A further object of my invention is the provision of a means of securely carrying the ink bottle with the board when moving the same from place to place.

A further object of my invention is the provision of a non-spillable holder for drawing ink bottles.

A further object of my invention is the provision of a resilient holder for ink bottles thereby preventing breaking of the bottle when subject to severe jars.

A further object of my invention is the provision of a holder for drawing ink bottles beyond the confines of the board proper, thus leaving the entire surface readily accessible without necessity of moving the bottle from place to place on the board.

A further object of my invention is to provide an easily mounted yet readily detachable holder for drawing ink bottles.

Other and further objects of this invention will be apparent from the disclosures in the specifications and accompanying drawing.

This invention in preferred form is illustrated on the drawing and hereinafter more fully described.

On the drawing:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the invention attached to the edge of a standard drawing board, and with a standard type ink bottle mounted in place.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the rigid plate member, into which the resilient loop may be detachably inserted.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the loop member of the invention which yieldably encircles the neck of the ink bottle.

As shown on the drawing:

The reference numerals III, II, I2, and I3 serve to illustrate the parts of the resilient loop portion of the invention. The numeral I illustrates the metal part of said loop, which passes through a resilient covering illustrated by reference numeral I3, and which is formed at each end as described below.

Reference numeral II serves to illustrate the down-turned sections of said loop, these ends being bent downward at substantially right angles to the circular portion of the loop and substantially parallel to one another.

At their extreme ends these down-turned sections are bent in an outward direction, and in opposite directions from one another, as indicated by reference numeral I2, these out-turned sections serving to prevent horizontal rotation of the loop when attached to the plate member described below.

Reference numeral I4 serves to illustrate the mounting plate into which the above mentioned loop may be detachably inserted. This plate has screw holes through which wood screws, reference numeral I6, may be inserted to rigidly fasten the same to the edge of a desk or drawing board.

The upper section of the mounting plate I4 is so formed as to make outward protruding lip sections as illustrated by reference numeral I5, these lip sections being formed by bending a part of the plate so that it reverses over itself at each end, the lip sections being substantially parallel to the main part of the plate, a small space being left between these lip sections to allow ready insertion of the above mentioned loop member, reference numeral I I and the wood screws, reference numeral I6.

To apply my invention the loop retaining mounting plate I4 is attached to the outer edge of the drawing board by means of wood screws I6.

The neck of a standard type ink bottle is then inserted in the insulated portion I3 of the resilient loop I0, the down-turned sections are then compressed into close juxtaposition and inserted behind the out-turned lip sections I 5 of the mounting plate I4, the entire loop now being resiliently but detachably held in a position substantially perpendicular to said mounting plate, and held from extreme rotatable motion by the out-turned portions I2 at the loop ends.

It will be apparent from the foregoing that I have provided a secure, but resilient and readily removable means of fastening to and mounting on, a standard type drawing ink bottle, to a desk, drawing board or other mounting.

I am aware that changes may be made and details of construction may be varied without departing from the scope of this invention and I therefore do not wish to confine myself otherwise than is necessitated by the prior art.

I claim as my invention:

1. In an ink bottle holder a fixed plate member, a resilient loop member detachably mounted thereon, loop retaining sections formed on said plate member, said loop member being detachably held to said plate member by out-turned sections.

2. In an ink bottle holder a fixedly mounted retaining plate member, loop retaining outturned sections formed thereon, a resilient loop in conjunction therewith, down-turned portions of said loop member frictionally held by said retaining sections, said down-turned loop sections being outwardly bent at their extreme ends substantially parallel to said retaining plate.
